this number are not available for Z10 Pro to clean.
11. Will the cleaning efficacy drop when cleaning a complicated environment?

Dreame Support Team

A: The Dreame Z10 Pro will clean all corners in your home to ensure complete
coverage. Z10 Pro turns to make more turns and vacuums along the edges in a complex
environment, resulting in decreased efficiency.
12. How to reduce the noise during the cleaning?
A: Check if the brush is stuck with objects and clean it in time to avoid any damage
caused.
To reduce the noise, kindly choose the quieter mode.
13. Why does Z10 Pro make strange sounds during cleaning?
A: When cleaning on tile or wood floor, Z10 Pro may produce a slight sound when its
bottom rubs on the floor. The Z10 Pro will clean and sweep the joins on the floor as it passes
through, which may produce a slight rattling sound. These are all normal sounds and will not
affect cleaning results.
14. What should I do if the Dreame Z10 Pro is trapped during cleaning?
A: When cleaning, the Z10 Pro may get stuck by slippers, plastic bags, and other
clutters. Remove the clutters and put Z10 Pro back to the cleaned area close to the
interrupted point. Please clean up clutters on the floor to prevent the robot from getting stuck
during cleaning.
15. What should I do if the Dreame Z10 Pro gets stuck when trying to pass through
some house furnishings?
A: During the Cleaning, if the robot meets the bottom of the furniture, which has a
similar height to the robot, it may get stuck.
Please kindly purchase the magnetic stripes to avoid this issue. If not, please place some
obstacles at the bottom of the furniture to prevent the robot from entering again.
16. What should I do if the side brush or main brush is entangled during cleaning?
A: When cleaning, the side brush and main brush may be entangled by power cords or
charging cables on the floor.

Do not stand next to Z10 Pro and ensure the camera has full access to all feature
points in the room.

Z10 Pro may fail to reposition itself in low lights. Please ensure sufficient light for
repositioning.
19. What is the max height of obstacles Z10 Pro can cross?

installed. The max obstacle height will also decrease when Z10 Pro is working on the
slippery floor.
20. Why does Z10 Pro fail to decelerate when meeting the obstacles?
A: With the LDS Sensor, the Z10 Pro could detect the obstacles and decelerate.
However, for dark table legs or short barriers, it might be unable to detect and decelerate.
21. Why does Z10 Pro collide with the walls when vacuuming along the edges?
A: Dreame Z10 Pro has a built-in wall sensor to keep it a certain distance from the wall
when cleaning along the edge. Due to the influence of different colors and limited sensing
range, it is normal for Z10 to collide with the wall edges a few times when encountering black
walls or edges lower than its height.
22. How to deal with device errors of the Dreame Z10 Pro?
A: Press the Power/Clean button and hold for 6 seconds to reboot.
23. Why does Z10 Pro fail to power on?

Base and confirm the working temperature is in the range from 0 to 50℃.
24. Does Z10 Pro consume any power when connected with the Base?
A: When connecting with the Base, the Z10 Pro is powered by the Base, while the built-
in battery of the Z10 Pro will enter sleep mode with minimum power consumption to keep
itself in the best performance.
25. Why does the Z10 pro fail to return for charging?
A: a. Check if there are too many obstacles around the Base. Please keep both sides of
the base at least 0.5m away from the obstacles and make sure there are no obstacles 1.5m
above the base.
b. If Z10 Pro does not start from the Base for cleaning, it may fail to find the Base
after finishing up. Please ensure the Robot starts cleaning from the Base.
c. Moving Z10 Pro to an uncleaned area will cause repositioning failure. In this case,
restart the task.
26. Why does the robot keep connecting to the base after returning to charge?
A: Please check whether the charging interfaces of the base and the robot are with dust.
Please clean the dust before using the system.
27. Why couldn’t I open the dust bin?

mopping. Please clean them manually.
29. Why is the floor still dirty after mopping?
A: Wash the mop pad in time when mopping on the dirty floor.
30. Why do I fail to install the mop pad properly?
A: Align the mop pad with the module before installation.
31. Why do I smell the odor from the mop and dust compartment?
A: Odor is caused by the dirty mop that is not washed in time after cleaning. Please
clean the rag in time after mopping the floor. The dust bin may also emit odor with liquid
getting inside. Please clean the dust bin in time after cleaning.
32. Why does the Z10 Pro fail to do schedule clean?
A: It might be caused by the low battery level. The scheduled clean only works when the
battery level is higher than 15%.
33. Why does Z10 Pro fail to resume cleaning after recharging itself?
A: Make sure the Z10 Pro is not working in the DND Mode. If you actively command it to
return or manually move it back to the dock, Z10Pro will not resume cleaning either.
34. Why does the performance of Z10 Pro fade with missed debris on the floor?
A: Clean the dust bin if it is full; Clean the filter clogged with dust; Clean the main brush
if it is tangled with foreign matters.

38. How to prevent the robot vacuum from cleaning the carpet?
A: Set the restricted area around the carpet via the APP, and the robot vacuum will
avoid the carpet while cleaning.
39. Why is the map different than before? What should I do if the map is distorted,
inclined, or overlapped?
A: The map is distorted or overlapped:
1. Make sure the map is saved successfully, which means the parted sections are
shown in the map, and the area cleaning can work properly.
2. Turn off the power and restart the robot vacuum. Then manually place the robot
vacuum to the charging base and try to restore the map. If the restoration fails, replace the
charging base position and redo the mapping.
Recommendations:
1. Properly place the base against the wall by making sure the open space beside the
base should be at least 0.5m, and there are no obstacles 1m from the front of the base.
2. While the robot vacuum is working, please do not manually move the machine.
3. Strong light or highly reflective situations might cause the malfunction of the
mapping. We recommend closing the curtain or finding another time when the light is not so
strong to clean. For highly reflective surfaces, it’s better to cover 15cm from the bottom of
the surface while cleaning.
4. Users can reset the mapping, and the robot will remap during its next cleaning. 5.
Regularly check and clean the navigation sensors with a soft cloth or tissue.
40. What should I do if the map configuration is not correct?
A: We could adjust the Map manually via the App.
41. Why is the Carpet Boost function unstable?
A: This function is still the beta version. Using the robot on the shorter carpet might
cause the function failure.
42. What should I do if the robot vacuum fails to avoid obstacles during the cleaning?
A: 1. Wipe the obstacle sensor in the middle of the bumper with a soft dry cloth and try
to restart the machine to check if it can work properly. The sensor might be clouded by dirt.
2. If the robot vacuum is connected to the network and is online, open the APP and
click … on the upper right corner to check if the obstacle avoidance is off. Switch it on if it is
